3 Sennheiser MX Series Earphones

While most audiophiles and audiosnobs have heard of (or used) Sennheiser products, many still wonder if the brand can be the choice of the masses. In a previous interaction with the company, we found Sennheiser reluctant to be included in the budget class – and this is with reference not to affordability, but quality.

However, over time the company has come out with newer products, and prices are on a downward spiral. You may recall that four months ago we had covered four earphones from Sennheiser in one review. It’s now time to check out another batch (of three products, this time). So here are some cheap – sorry, affordable – options from Sennheiser.

MX 360

I decided to start with this product as it’s my favorite. It claims to provide bass-driven stereo sound, and I think it’s true – most of the lows were well represented, if you can pardon the missing punch. The output is clear, but much of the warmth that we discerned in the OMX series is sadly missing.

The MX 360 comes with what they call an 'asymmetric cable' design, which means the left ear cable is slightly shorter than the right, necessitating you to wear it round your neck. This may look cool, but I'm not a big fan since it keeps getting tugged whenever I move my head. The 3.5mm jack plug with a right-angled design works well. The package comes with three pair of earbuds, and a 2-year warranty. It costs Rs 690.
